iOS 3.1 Jailbreaking with Blackrain IPhone 3G 3.1 FW?

Has anyone successfully jailbroke their Iphone 3g 3.1 yet with Blackrain.
I'm a lil hesitant to do it myself because I read that you shouldn't because of the unlocking baseband problem. Can someone explain the baseband unlocking thing cause I am a lil confused. Thanks

The baseband is to do with unlocking. If you intend to use your iphone on another network. Eg in England Iphones come locked to o2. If i wanted to use it say on Vodafone then i wouldnt update it using itunes as it would update the baseband meaning the unlock wouldnt work. If you just intend to use it on the network on which it was designed to operate then upgrade via itunes then run blackra1n. You will only have a problem if you want to use it on another network in the future. Hope that makes sense.

So let me see if I get this right....
My IPhone is through Rogers... So say if I wanted to switch my service and go with Telus and keep my Iphone... I wouldn't be able to cause my baseband would be no good?

From what I understand, any iPhone on 3.1.* won't be able to be unlocked due to the baseband.

However,
My friend on Rogers did this, to get onto Bell: Download a firmware for 3.0 off the internet, and go to iTunes and shift+clickrestore with Iphone plugged in and go to the downloaded file and then just when it's done, jail-break and sync without a sim card in and follow the rest of the other guides. He had to do it twice though, for it to work!

ok.......not knowing that my iphone was jailbroken...i tried updating it...then getting an error i tried recovering it...now its stuck in recovery mode...it is already unlocked...i tried using blackrain to carry it to 3.2 but i hasnt seemed to work....HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
